At a glance

Required context for all frontend work. An agent skill from ambient-code/platform.

  • Works in 2 steps: specs/standards/frontend/conventions.spec… → specs/standards/frontend/react-query.spec…
  • Modifying anything under components/frontend/
  • SKILL.md covers User Input, Required Reading, Key Constraints and After Reading
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Frontend Development is an agent skill from ambient-code/platform. Required context for all frontend work. Loads frontend standards (conventions, React Query patterns, adapter testing requirements) before any code changes. Use when modifying anything under components/frontend/. Triggers on: any frontend code change, UI component work, React Query hooks, API adapter work, frontend bug fix, frontend refactor.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Frontend development and Debugging. It works with TanStack. The repository describes itself as: Vision/Mission https://ambient-code.ai : Virtual team management and collaboration platform. User guides: https://ambient-code.github.io/platform/. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Modifying anything under components/frontend/
  • : any frontend code change
  • UI component work
  • React Query hooks

Example prompts

  • “/frontend-development”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. specs/standards/frontend/conventions.spec.md — zero-tolerance rules (no any, Shadcn only, React Query for all data, type over interface…
  2. specs/standards/frontend/react-query.spec.md — file structure (ports/adapters/queries), data fetching patterns, testing requirements…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e15afd3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Frontend Development loads about 525 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~525

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Frontend Development

Before writing or changing any frontend code, load the project's frontend standards. These are non-negotiable constraints — not suggestions.

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

Required Reading

Read all files in specs/standards/frontend/ before proceeding:

bash
ls specs/standards/frontend/

At minimum, this includes:

  1. specs/standards/frontend/conventions.spec.md — zero-tolerance rules (no any, Shadcn only, React Query for all data, type over interface, colocated components, feature flags)
  2. specs/standards/frontend/react-query.spec.md — file structure (ports/adapters/queries), data fetching patterns, testing requirements, validation checklist

Also read the API adapter spec if working on the services layer:

  1. specs/frontend/api-adapter.spec.md — port interface contract, canonical types, 30 API domains, testability requirements

Key Constraints

These apply to every frontend change, no exceptions:

  • Zero any types. Use proper types or unknown.
  • Shadcn UI components only. No custom buttons, inputs, dialogs.
  • React Query for all data fetching. No manual fetch() in components.
  • type over interface. Always.
  • All adapters must be tested. No adapter merged without unit tests using recorded responses.
  • All hooks must be tested. Hook tests use mock adapters, not real backends.
  • Port interfaces, not raw API calls. React Query hooks consume ports, not services/api/ directly.

After Reading

Confirm you have loaded the standards, then proceed with the task. If any of your changes would violate these constraints, stop and discuss with the user before writing code.
